Clashes erupt outside USA embassy in Beirut

In Jakarta, Indonesia, that thousands of protesters gathered outside the U.S. Embassy with signs reading "Pray for Palestine" and "Freedom for Palestinians".

Standing at the far edge of Sunday's protest in Beirut, Faraj Shahin, a Palestinian, described the Middle East's leaders as "traitors" who had sold out her countrymen.

Demonstrators set fires in the street, torched United States and Israeli flags and threw projectiles towards security forces that had barricaded the main road to the complex.

In Beirut, meanwhile, Lebanese security forces fired tear gas and water canons at protesters, some of them waving Palestinian flags, near the USA embassy. The country's Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, tweeted that Beirut had the "utmost solidarity with the Palestinian people" and their "right to establish an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital".

Echoing that view, Abu Dhabi crown prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahayan, the de facto leader of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said the U.S. move "could throw a lifebuoy to terrorist and armed groups, which have begun to lose ground" in the Middle East.
